So, if you were say a nurse, in a maturnity ward, you weren’t breathing it in daily in ongoing large amounts???
Talcum powder has been known to cause cervical cancer, with or without Asbestos. Talcum powder is also known to cause respiratory issues as well.
And guess what, J&J’s baby powder contains Talc....
Might want to re-evaluate what exactly has scientific merit.
You also might want to educate yourself on the increased rates of OBGYN and Breast cancers among women exposed to Asbestos:

Sorry, but you are dead wrong, that exposure to asbestos doesn’t cause cervical and other cancers beyond lung cancer.
There are different types of asbestos and a type of aspestos can be found as a natural contanimant with talc.
The important health question is what type of asbestos was found in the talc, did it arrive with the talc or was it added to the talc, and what was the likely dosage received in a use of an ounce of baby powder.
As far as I know talc is not absorbed by the skin, and the main problem with asbestos itself is when its fibers are inhaled.
The dosage is the important piece because the body has lots of defenses againts foreign contaminants, as most often really bad contaminants bring health issues when they arrive in doses too high for the natural defenses to clear them. There is also the likelihood that genetics gives everyone some difference in how well those defenses work, leaving some more susceptible than others to some contaminants. That anecedotal evidence is born out by the fact that not everyone who has had exposure inhaling asbestos has obtained asbestos related lung disease - not even with the same level of asbestos exposure.
I could post a personal and serious experience but I won’t because this thread has evolved into a jokeathon.
Absolutely SHOCKING!!! A true bombshell.
There are already commercials on TV by a law firm having people join lawsuits against Johnson’s because the baby powder caused ovarian cancer. My sister used that stuff back years and years ago. She died two years ago the 4th of July of ovarian cancer!!!
Anyone know how asbestos gets in baby powder. I don’t know enough science to figure how it gets there.
...how asbestos gets in baby powder.

Talc is mined. Asbestos coexists with talc.
And miss the doomsday lede?!! Never!
here is a site created by J&J to defend the safety of their product......
www.factsabouttalc.com
it appears to be very comprehensive and very transparent as it provides over 5000 company documents used in litigation and facts / sources.
I think they’re already together when mined. Why, I don’t know.

One particular issue with commercial use of talc is its frequent co-location in underground deposits with asbestos ore. Stringent quality control since 1976, including separating cosmetic- and food-grade talc from “industrial” grade talc, has eliminated this issue, but it remains a potential hazard requiring mitigation in the mining and processing of talc.[24] A 2010 US FDA survey failed to find asbestos in a variety of talc-containing products.[25]
